    I'm not absolving United/the police of responsibility. There's plenty of blame to go around. I'm just pushing back against the notion that we shouldn't even look at this guy's supposed justification for acting like a baby.

    Again, he is currently a licensed and practicing physician in Kentucky. What more is relevant to the story?

        Well, I guess that's the end of the discussion. :|

            It's good practice to physically remove uncooperative bumped passengers as long as the have a sordid past?



            Like others, I don't see how the history of the person has any relevance.

                How so? Falafel is arguing that since his remote crimes were related to his excuse of not leaving the plane, it was OK to report it. I just removed the sleazy part of drugs and sex from my comparison.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                            No normal and sane person would act like Dr. Dao acted. Totally predictable that he would have some type of crimes or embarrassments in his past.

                            In my mind that makes what they did to him even worse. They both physically and psychologically traumatized a vulnerable person with some major issues. Horrible! You can't tell me if they offered a $2K voucher they wouldn't have had a dozen or more volunteers.
